I have been writing about once a month, it seems, trying to get people to publish their own video and photos to The Telegraph Web site.
So far, video is coming in slower than photos. Some are getting the hang of sending photos. But video, well, my theory is some are simply afraid to give it a try.
Here is what to do to send video:
1. Go to thetelegraph.com.
2. Click on Start Here under latest submitted videos.
3. Create a free Brightcove account by following - the on screen directions.
4. Select a video from your hard drive and click upload video.
It’s that simple, folks. I can think of 100 different video topics for people to send items. One would be video from a child’s activity. Another could be upcoming graduation videos. Another might be a video from summer recreational baseball or softball. How about video from a school or church musical?
When we have breaking news events like a car crash, a fire, and a contributor obtains video, those would also be something people would view. Breaking news video attracts more views than any other.
I challenge those in the area to respond and take advantage of an excellent free service we offering. Once the video is published, it will be there for all your friends and family to see.
If you have problems sending, contact Everett Hicks, of The Telegraph, at (618) 463-2594 and he can walk you through the process.
